Do Multivitamins Really Have Health Benefits?

Studies show that not all multivitamins are created equal and there is a new supplement that hopes to stand above the rest.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 21, 2014 ) Corrales, New Mexico -- People all around the world are taking vitamins or multivitamins to supplement their dietary needs. As of late however, some people are begging the question of whether or not these supplements are actually working for them or, if they are just wasting their money and time. The fact is, millions of people are spending billions of dollars every year on different combinations of vitamins and those statistics are staggering.

In a recent interview with Dr.T Laberknight, Pharm.D. the question was brought up whether or not multivitamins actually had any health benefits and her answer was: "It really depends on the context in which people are taking them. Multivitamins are supposed to be taken in order to fill the gaps in an individual's diet that they wouldn't normally get from their day to day eating habits."

When asked what are the most common vitamins that most people are lacking in their diet, Dr. T responded: "People are lacking more than they think. Calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and potassium are among the most common. Some multivitamins contain these essential nutrients that, depending on one's lifestyle, may be missing. Some of these might also contain nutrients that can help to prevent some chronic conditions. Obviously, people must maintain a healthy diet in order for these supplements to work. One cannot take a supplement and eat whatever they want, and expect it to work. There has to be a balance between the two".

The makers of Edison's Genius Builder claims that their supplement only provides the essential nutrients that the body needs. "No matter what your current day to day eating style this supplement will work as we do not add any other unnecessary ingredients that some other multivitamins contain. All we add is what people normally lack in their day to day diets, that's it". We just want to help people live healthier more energetic lives." explains the supplement makers.
